A solution may be to make a copy of the game folder and place this elsewhere on the c-drive. And run the subcommand executable from there. But iirc you also need to tweak a registry setting so the game knows where it's files are stored. I'm sure it is talked about in some thread in here over the years.

Also, the SCU program hacks the Subcommand executable to get different playable units, it's changing specific bytes inside. The Steam version of the file is different, and so SCU cannot work on this.

So if I'm interpreting this correctly, because we purchased it via Steam we will not be able to use the SXCII & SCSIIc mods for SubCommand?
